Mexican FIFA referee Guerrero investigated for suspected cheating

One of the top Mexican referees, Fernando Guerrero, is under suspension during an internal investigation of the Referees Committee. Referee Guerrero (photo), dubbed “the Singer", is suspected of cheating on a medical test, according to national media.

According to reports, Liga MX suspects that the referee altered the results of his anthropometric tests, which are responsible for measuring body mass. Héctor González Iñárritu, the head of the Referees Committee, would have taken the decision to temporarily suspend Guerrero, while conducting the investigation. It is said that the referee would have sent a colleague to do the anthropometric test in his place. Fernando Guerrero Ramirez has not been assigned any matches since matchday 5, when he refereed the Necaxa – Monterrey duel, in which he congratulated the goalkeeper of the Rays, Marcelo Barovero, for the saves he made in that match.
